Smaller circles.......
Oil at $104 a barrel, environmental concerns, fat kids and fatter parents. What is it with people who have such a big circle they end up commuting for hours each day? What about a community that has kids riding in a yellow steel box for hours--not to mention in front of the tube for even more hours-- and can't spring for a 30 minute recess? What about that trip to the mall that involves more sitting around in traffic? Friends, bet you have to travel long distances to see them?
What if we lived in smaller circles where work, schools, shopping and friends are all in walking distance?
Oh well....probably wouldn't do much good in a society where stopping your SUV at the mail box on the drive to McDonalds is considered the ultimate in environmental consciousness.
